Jay Moussa-Mann is a singer and songwriter whose songs have been played repeatedly on BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 6. With her unique lyrical style, Jay explores themes of love and belonging in her music, writing each song as though it were a scene in a movie. Her songs describe the human moments of life.
